Bola Tinubu, the APC’s presidential candidate in the February 25 election, has told Igbos in Enugu that if they vote for him, they will get a piece of the “national cake,” a euphemism for the national coffer, Asonaija Reports.
Mr Tinubu urged Enugu residents and Igbos in general to vote for him in order to share the national cake.
“You cannot block the way of success. It is only the ignorant that will stand in the way of victory. We are not looking for 25 per cent votes. We are working assiduously until Bola Ahmed Tinubu becomes the president of Nigeria,” he stressed.
Uche Nnaji, the APC’s governorship candidate in Enugu, as well as Governors Hope Uzodimma and Umahi, addressed the rally at the same time.
They disagreed on the percentage of votes Mr Tinubu would receive in the South-East.
While Nnaji sought 30% of the vote, Mr Uzodimma predicted a landslide, and Mr Umahi sought 90% of votes from the geopolitical zone.
“We have to vote for APC so that we will not lose. We are not looking at 60 per cent or 80 per cent, but 100 per cent of the votes,” Mr Umahi said.
